Su Ling is a very kind person who genuinely loves sharing her passion and love for Singapore, thus she decided to leave her facilities management job of 15 years to become a professional Singapore tour guide. Being a professional Singapore tour guide boosted her soul and made her life more fulfilling.

Before WHO declared Covid-19 as a Pandemic, Su Ling attended a 2-day annual Heart-fulness meditation retreat in Hyderabad, India. A great help to have a calm and positive mindset in the midst of this crisis. A healthy mind is a healthy body. Now, that she is in Singapore, what keeps Su Ling busy in her free time?

Hello! Singapore tour guide Su Ling spent his free time last February in an annual mediation retreat in India.

On a normal day, you are usually out on the streets showing our guests the beauty of Singapore. Given the travel restrictions imposed by several countries how are you spending your time now? what keeps you busy?

I am an online class called Chinese metaphysics and learning digital marketing to learn how to promote myself as a guide! I also spent most of my time, cleaning the house, keeping fit and positive! 

We know that you also suffer from wanderlust. When this Pandemic is finally over, and you can go anywhere overseas where will your wanderlust take you and why?

Hope to go back to New York City again, cos my last trip was not enough, only 3 days! Plus Peru, cos its the next destination for spiritual! 

After the world comes out of this dark time and that everyone can travel to Singapore again, what is the first thing or place you are most excited about showing our guests and why?

Foods especially Chicken Rice, our national dish and our hospitality! 

What is one thing that this very unfortunate event taught you or helped you realize?
It taught us about humanity, about how everyone is connected, about loving every single beings and be one, including animals and of course, our universe. 

Su Ling’s message to everyone during this Pandemic

Be safe, stay healthy, positive, united, let’s combat the virus together and we shall meet again very soon!

It is time once again for another Corona Diary stories from one of our Hello! Singapore Tour Guides. Let us hear it this time from Daryl or as what we call him Agent Daz . A very passionate tour guide that every guest he had surely say they had a fun and memorable Singapore tour.

Daryl used to work in the financial industry. After some self-reflection, and wanting to have a well-balanced life, he decided to follow his childhood dream of becoming a professional tourist guide. A well-thought decision with no regrets!

Now that Covid-19 Pandemic is affecting the world, where no tours and mass gatherings are allowed in the city. He has found other ways, to keep him busy. Find out from our short interview with the one and only Agent Daz!

On a normal day, you are usually out on the streets showing our guests the beauty of Singapore. Given the travel restrictions imposed by several countries how are you spending your time now? What keeps you busy?

Taking lots of online courses, Exercising, Playing with animals.

We know that you also suffer from wanderlust. When this Pandemic is finally over, and you can go anywhere overseas where will your wanderlust take you and why?

I love the blue ocean and white beaches in the Philippines.

After the world comes out of this dark time and that everyone can travel to Singapore again, what is the first thing or place you are most excited about showing our guests and why?
The natural beauty of Singapore. e.g. the walking trail of Macritchie Reservoir. Because, we need to “stop and smell the roses in life”, learn to appreciate the natural atmosphere around us.

What is one thing that this very unfortunate event taught you or helped you realize?

Life is too short, and it is not about material wealth. Friendship, love, camaraderie, is what is important in life.

Daryl’s Message to everyone

Looking forward to see you guys very soon.Meanwhile, to you and your family, STAY SAFE and STAY HEALTHY : )

All over the world, we applaud the bravery of our frontliners, from nurses, hospital staff, grocery clerks, police and other officials who join together to fight Covid-19. They are the people who never get tired of helping the general public to have “a bit of a normal life” and for the public to stay at home especially in this unfortunate time.

At Hello! Singapore Tours, our frontliners are our tour Guides. These people kept their enthusiasm and positive attitude to continuously show the beauty of the city when walking tours were still allowed Singapore.

Now, that the city has strictly implemented a policy that no mass gatherings and tours are allowed in the city. I know that you are all wondering, how are they doing now? What’s keeping them busy?

Meet DAN, our tour guide from California. A former aircraft mechanic and project manager who fell in love with Singapore instantly. A very passionate tour guide who shares his experience and knowledge about the city and why he fell in love with it.

Hello! Singapore Tour guide Dan spending some quality time with his two wonderful children.

On a normal day, you are usually out on the streets showing our guests the beauty of Singapore. Given the travel restrictions imposed by several countries how are you spending your time now and what keeps you busy?

I am a single dad, so most of my day is spent keeping my kids in-line and making sure they complete their home-based learning activities. My main job aside from tour guiding is performing and tutoring music, so I've been pushing out more recordings and online lessons from home. 

We know that you also suffer from wanderlust. When this Pandemic is finally over, and you can go anywhere overseas where will your wanderlust take you and why?

I have no particular travel plans at the moment and my boys and I have season passes to Universal Studios Singapore to use up when it opens up again. My dream holiday is to take the kids to Philadelphia in the fall to watch an Eagles game and to see for ourselves who truly deserves the crown of "Best Philly Cheesesteak".

After the world comes out of this dark time and that everyone can travel to Singapore again, what is the first thing or place you are most excited about showing our guests? and why?

I love the Old Airport Road Hawker Centre. As a guide, we have a great deal of freedom to tailor the food we try to the guests' preferences. The face people make when they take a bite of something completely unfamiliar but unmistakably delicious is like watching a kid eat chocolate for the first time. 

What is one thing that this very unfortunate event taught you or helped you realize?

I have realized, now more than ever, that I'm comforted by a warm, virtual blanket of benevolent people who I'm proud to call my friends and family. It's comforting to see kindness rise to the top in this unfortunate time. 

Dan’s personal message

I would really love to see local Singaporeans or Expats living in Singapore sign up for tours as soon as we open for business again. Tours are not solely for tourists. I'd especially love to see new expat families sign up for the Hello Singapore Food Tour to gain perspective on living in Singapore through food and get an introduction to how to eat locally on a budget. 

The Hello! Singapore team is still and will always be here. We are all optimistic that we will get through this and we will come back stronger. We are all looking forward to showing you around Singapore once this Pandemic is over.
